The purpose of this study is to examine any change in the perception of tinnitus in patients supplemented with magnesium (535 mg daily).

Descriptions of tinnitus date back to the time of ancient Egypt, yet science has failed to unravel the mysterious underlying mechanisms that produce these subjective auditory perceptions of sound. These perceptions may be manifestations of damage resulting from noise exposure, ototoxicity, or other abnormal conditions of the auditory system. However, many...

The trial should be completed this month. This was a Phase 3 trial. All the trials were conducted on people with moderate to severe tinnitus. The trial was double blind--i.e., some people were given magnesium while others were given a placebo--which gives it clinical significance.

ive just started supplementing with mg threonate as it is the most readily absorbed form of mg (or so ive been told..). I do have depleted serum mg, so I thought this would be appropriate. my cardiologist also wanted me to trial mg to see if it impacts on my bouts premature ventricular contractions and hand/leg cramps, which are very uncomfortable. I don't expect miracles so far as my t goes, but because I feel mg has so many other useful applications, I will stay on this long term. I think it has settled my nerves a little, which is a good thing.
